Study Notes
Definition of Addition
- Addition is a mathematical operation that represents combining two or more values to get a total or a sum.
- It is denoted by the plus sign (+).
Properties of Addition
-
Commutative Property: The order of the numbers being added does not change the result.
- Example: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2
-
Associative Property: The order in which numbers are added does not change the result.
- Example: (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4)
-
Distributive Property: Addition can be distributed over subtraction.
- Example: 2 + (3 - 1) = (2 + 3) - 1
Types of Addition
- Whole Number Addition: Adding whole numbers, resulting in a whole number sum.
- Fraction Addition: Adding fractions, resulting in a fraction sum.
- Decimal Addition: Adding decimals, resulting in a decimal sum.
Real-World Applications of Addition
- Counting money: Adding amounts of money together.
- Measuring ingredients: Adding quantities of ingredients for a recipe.
- Scores and statistics: Adding points, runs, or other scores in sports and games.
Key Concepts
- Addend: A number being added to another number.
- Sum: The result of adding two or more numbers.
- Regrouping: Rearranging numbers to make addition easier, often used in multi-digit addition.
